Srvprepostsnapdisabled

The srvprepostsnapdisabled option specifies whether to prevent the pre-snapshot and post-snapshot commands specified by the IBM Spectrum Protect™ administrator from executing on the client system, when performing scheduled image snapshot backup operations.

The srvprepostsnapdisabled option can be used in conjunction with the schedcmddisabled and srvprepostsnapdisabled options to disable the execution of any unwanted operating system command by the IBM Spectrum Protect administrator on a client node.

Parameters

No: Specifies that client allows pre-snapshot and post-snapshot commands defined by the IBM Spectrum Protect administrator to execute on the client system, when performing scheduled image snapshot backup operations. If a pre-snapshot or a post-snapshot command is defined by both the client and the IBM Spectrum Protect administrator, the command defined by the administrator overrides the corresponding command defined in the client option file. This is the default.
Yes: Specifies that the client does not allow pre-snapshot and post-snapshot commands defined by the IBM Spectrum Protect administrator to execute on the client system, when performing scheduled image snapshot backup operations. If a pre-snapshot or a post-snapshot command is defined by both the client and the IBM Spectrum Protect administrator, the command defined by the administrator will not override the corresponding command defined in the client option file. This option can be used in conjunction with the schedcmddisabled and srvprepostsnapdisabled options.
